Dear Mr. Jones,

I am someone from Singapore that has read your article about the Japan Crisis and I would like to write this letter of encouragement to you as well as to the people of Japan. I understand that you have felt the earthquake tremors on March 11, 2011. This earthquake, as seen on the newspaper worldwide, caused a 10-metre tsunami as well as a current nuclear crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

Videos and pictures of the tsunami is everywhere. Trending on twitter and spreading on Tumblr and Facebook. I found out that this is the worst Mother Nature has give Japan since the 1995 earthquake that hit the Western city of Kobe. All the buildings in the affected areas were destroyed completely; nothing could be seen left in shape. The rebuilding of cities, towns and provinces costs hundreds of millions to rebuild. This takes the help of the entire planet, and I am please to say that contributions made were a significant amount. These food and water would be sent to the affected areas as soon as possible. I hope that your family, friends and yourself would be fine and in one piece.

The nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant is huge problem currently. The radioactive leakage is causing major problems to Japan and parts of the world. Food supplies around the world from Japan are banned from entering the country. I hope the government would be able to solve this as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

I hope that you are fine, not forgetting your family and friends too. I have confidence that the Japanese nation would be able to overcome this as even after all that has happened, the people are still calm and composed and not panicking. I wish everyone in Japan a few safe weeks ahead and good luck!

Yours truly,

Kang Jun Yi.
